Caracas, Venezuela.- Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil denounced the U.S. State Department for “insisting on its despicable position of interfering in matters that do not concern it.”
The spokesman of this government, Matthew Miller, declared yesterday that “Edmundo González Urrutia obtained the majority of votes” in the presidential elections, despite the fact that the Supreme Court of Justice had certified the victory of Nicolás Maduro, as announced by the National Electoral Council since the night of July 28.
“We do not owe explanations to any foreign entity, much less to the hostile empire that manages a fascist puppet that was rejected by the majority of the people, as he personifies the hatred and aggression of its 930 sanctions, sabotages to our economy, assassination attempts and violent aggressions against our citizens”, wrote the Foreign Minister of the South American nation on Telegram.
In addition, he recalled that the former candidate of the ultra-right wing “refuses to recognize the public powers, before the rejection of an entire country”, since he did not attend the summons issued to him by the Supreme Court of Justice and, more recently, by the Public Ministry.
Another ally of the White House is playing along: the European Council, through the voice of its High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has denied the Bolivarian leader as legitimate president, while at the same time questioning Venezuelan democracy.
In the face of such accusations, Yván Gil pointed out that “in Bolivar’s homeland, where we expelled the European empires with blood and fire, we don’t care what he says, we know that his knees are no longer able to accept Washington’s orders, but Venezuela respects itself, here the Constitution and democracy have triumphed.

Caracas, Venezuela.— Nicolás Maduro has been elected by his people as President, and, in view of this, the most extremist opposition -defeated at the polls- has taken off its diplomatic make-up.
They were hiding the real plan. Their intentions were not electoral, but violent. This was demonstrated in the last days, with a wave of terror financed by the national and international ultra-right, with the consent of the White House, as the President has denounced.
Sabotage to the headquarters of public agencies, destruction of machines and electoral material, destruction of symbols of national identity and obstruction of public roads are some of the terrorist actions perpetrated.
On the other hand, the National Assembly (NA) approved a draft Agreement of recognition to the electoral results of July 28 and, in a joint installation of the Council of State and the National Defense Council, Maduro requested advice to strengthen the biosecurity system of the country.
In addition, he announced the creation of an economic fund and appointed a commission to protect the families who are victims of the “fascist comanditos”, as well as the creation of a special Commission for the government to assume the defense in the social networks, and requested the deployment of a patrol and protection plan in the Venezuelan streets. He also determined to create a system for the protection of popular leaders in the communities. Finally, he notified that a window will be opened to denounce criminal activities.
Meanwhile, in the center of Caracas, and in other cities of the country, the people have taken to the streets with the tricolor flag to defend, in a united march, peace and national stability.
